Welcome to Lovatt Antiques

Coronavirus / Covid 19….. please stay safe!

I am still very much open for business and enquiries.

Please feel free to telephone me if you want advice on selling or valuing any items…. or if you’re stuck in your house at a loose end and just want to have a blether about anything related to Antiques and Retro Vintage pieces.

You can also send any enquiries or images by email or Whatsapp and I’ll reply as quickly as possible.

…. Our History

Started in the 1960’s by my late father Ivor, Lovatt Antiques is a long-established antiques business based in Glasgow and dealing throughout Scotland.

I have been buying antiques and fine quality items since leaving school in the late 1970’s and I travel throughout Scotland in my quest to find good quality antiques, reproduction and interesting items.

For as long as I can remember and through my early years watching Arthur Negus on Going for a Song and the Antiques Roadshow (with the obligatory valuation competitions with family and friends) I have been interested in antiques. 

We offer a free professional & confidential service. Please give us a call on 0141 644 2020.

Maybe you’re moving home or you want to use the space in an old cupboard or your loft. Find out more
